Kathmandu
Kathmandu the capital of Nepal has been for many years the center of Nepal’s history, art and culture. It has a multi ethnic population with a Hindu and Buddhist majority. Religious and cultural festivities form a major part of the lives of people residing in Kathmandu. Tourism is an important part of the economy as the city is the gateway to the Nepalese Himalayas. A half day tour to visit Boudhanath Stupa, one of the biggest Buddhist shrines in the world. Locals circumnavigate the stupa and Buddhist prayers can be heard from monks from the monasteries surrounding the complex. It is then a short drive to Pashupatinath, the most famous Hindu temple in the country, located on the banks of the holy Bagmati River. Here you see Hindu holy men (sadhus) meditating, pilgrims bathing and occasionally funeral pyres burning on the ghats.
